objectives for SDGs in engineering course context(Research Question 2.) How can the learning objectives for SDGs achievement be assessedwithin an engineering course?Assessment of learning objectives for sustainable development can be, and should be, conductedat multiple levels, varying from individual, class, program, institutional, large-scale national, andinternational levels [14]. While a few large-scale sustainability-related assessments such as thePISA International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) [24] have been implemented,there have, until now, been only a limited number of course-level delivery of sustainability-related learning objectives. RQ2 seeks effective assessment methods for SDGs achievement inan engineering course

IntroductionAlmost four decades of war and insurgency in Afghanistan have had a similar devastating impacton its higher education sector as it has had on the other sectors of Afghan life. However, sincethe establishment of a new interim administration in 2001 and the 14-year inflow of tens ofbillions of dollars of international aid for reconstruction and development, some improvementsare perceivable in the higher
communities in both countries. This was followed by the USAgency for International Development (USAID) joining in 2005 with MOST and HEC ofPakistan to support the joint Pakistan-U.S. Science and Technology Cooperation Program. Theprogram objectives include improving the quality, relevance, or capacity of education andresearch at Pakistani institutions of higher education in science and technical fields andincreasing the capacity of science and technology to improve the well-being of ordinaryPakistani people. Over 70 projects have started between 2005 to 2009 in 4 phases in differentfield of science and engineering.

Gehringer North Carolina State University efg@ncsu.eduAbstractIn most engineering programs, international students constitute the majority of the graduatepopulation, and a rising percentage of the undergraduate population. It is important forengineering faculty to understand these students’ expectations of
programs, which usually include two weeks spent abroad studying coursetopics while learning about international culture11.Recently a survey was conducted through Robert Morris University regarding the benefitsreceived from the ENGR2012 Renewable Resources course that takes place in Germany. Webelieve that the study abroad experience from this course positively affects personal growth,overall education, cultural experiences, engineering concepts, and energy awareness, and thissurvey has been designed to quantify the learning gains in these areas. The ENGR2012Renewable Resources FLEAP has occurred three times in the past four years, in 2012, 2013, and2015, and has involved a total of fourteen students. The survey was distributed to each of
